Remember Dark Castle? - Macintosh Game from 1986

submitted by winkler1

1 decade 6 years 9 months 3 weeks ago

Dark Castle is a 1986 computer game for the Macintosh published by Silicon Beach Software. It was designed and illustrated by Mark Pierce and programmed by Jonathan Gay.

Dark Castle is a platform game where a young hero named Duncan tries to make his way to the evil Black Knight, dodging objects as well as solving occasional puzzles. The game is notable for its use of sampled sounds to great effect. A sequel titled Beyond Dark Castle was released in 1987. A second sequel, Return To Dark Castle, was announced in 2000, and, as of 2007, has been finished by Z Sculpt Entertainment. Return to Dark Castle is currently being prepared for release by Delta Tao Software and Super Happy Fun Fun.

They also wrote SuperPaint, SuperCard, and then that one that became Flash. I would be fitting if Return was done in Flash.

Never heard or seen this game. This game reminds me of Pitfall, Aztec, and Montezuma Revenge.

I still hear nanananana in my sleep.

Montezumas Revenge was awesome. Never played this one however.

I'm certain ive played a non mac version of this 20 years ago...

A friend and I smoked some, I mean drank some tea at this guy's house one time, and played this nuclear holocaust game he had on his mac until about three in the morning, absolutely amazed.

I don't think that game would hold anybody's attention for more than three minutes today.

Wonder what we'll see in 2027?

Whoa, I remember this from two decades back!

Wow, I remember this so vividly. I beat DC and BDC repeatedly, they were completely fucking awesome at the time.

Montezumas Revenge was awesome. Never played this one however.
